La La Fa

I went to the first of 4 Christmas parties last night. It was fun. Strange though we gathered to celebrate the birth of our King, and it wasn't even mentioned. Sad.

"I Hate Christmas Parties"

[Performed by Matthew Thiessen & the Earthquakes]

I hope it snows this week,

A snow flake on your cheek

Would make this Christmas so Beautiful

But that would just bring the pain

Cause things can’t stay the same

These Holidays won’t be wonderful

I look under the tree

But there’s nothing to see

Cause it’s a broken heart that you’re giving me

I can’t figure it out

Is this what Christmas is all about

Cause it’s a broken heart that you’re giving me

I don’t wanna talk

I’m sick of all this talking

A broken heart wrapped up in a Box

This tear drops in my stocking

I hate Christmas parties,

They offer me some punch,

But I just shrug

I hate Christmas parties

You and the Christmas Tray hear me say bahumbug

Fa la la la la la…la la la la la la [x3]

If you have had the chance to talk to me recently you know I have been listening to a lot of Christmas music. I love Christmas music. I love the joy and the peace and the celebration of my King. Why is the world so bent on ruining this holiday for me? I love what Christmas is all about. I would like to love Christmas parties.

"I Celebrate The Day"

And with this Christmas wish is missed

The point I could convey

If only I could find the words to say to let You know how much You've touched my life

Because here is where You're finding me, in the exact same place as New Year's eve

And from a lack of my persistency

We're less than half as close as I want to be

And the first time

That You opened Your eyes did You realize that You would be my Savior

And the first breath that left Your lips

Did You know that it would change this world forever

And so this Christmas I'll compare the things I felt in prior years

To what this midnight made so clear

That You have come to meet me here

To look back and think that

This baby would one day save me

In the hope that what You did

That you were born so I might live

To look back and think that

This baby would one day save me

And I, I celebrate the day

That You were born to die

So I could one day pray for You to save my life

This is what Christmas parties and the celebration should be about. This is what Christmas means to me. I don't really want to go to the other 3 Christmas parties now, because there won't be the celebration I am seeking. If you can't find the celebration at the church party, there is a zero chance you will find it at a staff party.

*sigh*

*edit* la la fa is from the napkins...it prolly meant to be fa la la but it looked like la la fa and a friend said that. I liked it.
